You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I am watching Schitt's Creek (Plei's fault!) and "Get through the first season, I promise it is worth it!" is a big ask, but it pays off, OMG. I am now completely fannish over it, to the point that I watched an episode of Hot Ones just because Dan Levy was the guest.

(Is it general knowledge that he and Noah Reid had downed a bottle of prosecco between them before recording David's lipsync? "More people should get tipsy at lunch!")

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

It's definitely the story that gets told about that scene. That and the song being the extended version and Dan not being prepared.

Hahaha, I didn't know that but I don't know anything

That show, man. The first few episodes were so hard to watch but once it got its hooks in me...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Same for us. A bit of a slog through the first chunk of the first season but then such an addictive watch.

I'm certain it will join Matilda's rotation of regularly rewatched comedies.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Is the first season of Schitt's Creek better or worse than the first season of Parks and Rec? Because that was the other show where people say "Just get through the first season and it's totally worth it!"

Hey. New board.

Schitt's Creek doesn't seem to have completely turned into a different show after season 1 like P & R, it just got it's groove much more later on.

I think S1 of Parks and Rec is more skippable than S1 of SC. The whole show is a gradual progression for these characters, so watching S1 makes the whole thing richer and more meaningful.

I liked Parks and Rec from the first. I didn't love it as much as later seasons, but I liked it fine.

The first season of Schitt's Creek was not bad it's just...cringey? Watch from the hall? But it's all necessary for the development of the story. And by the time that there were callbacks in the finale to some of this early cringey moments I was all awwww about them

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What I have told people who watched the first couple of Schitt's Creek and didn't like it, was to skip ahead to the last two episodes of S2, and see how they feel. I liked it from jump.

Also related to discovering well-known standups, I just watched John Mulaney's The Comeback Kid last night, and Dan Levy performed his wedding!!
